I need folks to stop using terms like "revolutionize" and "transform" to compliment emerging technologies. Neither word actually implies an improvement. Microplastics revolutionized how we consume and transformed human bodies. We're only now beginning to grasp how bad this was for us and the Earth.

Not a political consultant but I’m not sure “standing up to trump doesn’t work” is the best midterm message, even if if accurately represents senate dems position. Not much point in putting you in power then bsky.app/profile/atru...

During a VO session last year, our director told us about a favorite treat of hers: She puts Coffeemate in a milk frother, froths it up, and pouts it into her coffee. I tried it, and I think I've had three cups of "normal" coffee since.
I call it the "Frothymate." You're welcome.
